Important update about Porch.com's purchase of Inspection Support Network (ISN).

Hey Nick,

If you want to really corner the market, as in “inspector market”, you should purchase ISN, kick Porch to the curb, and offer all InterNACHI inspectors FREE use of ISN as a member benefit.

Although at this point that’s probably not an option, it’s still a nice thought.

Don’t forget to ask for the pony.

I herd you called the Mad Hatter once, and they might be correct. This was a nice move to protect your business partners…Us.

WOW! This is the most useful post you have ever made!

I think Porch also bought a HI software company.

I have used HON for some time now and have never had an issue with them until Porch bought them out. I now discover that Porch is calling all my old clients to sell them their services. Emails are one thing, you can unsubscribe but annoying phone calls are another. From now on I am not subscribing any of my future home inspection clients to HON.

If you use ISN you have to go to the page they have with all of the vendors they partner with and opt out of HON too, not just Porch.

Those checks still hanging there?

One of the measures Porch has agreed to is to install a “Wall of Checks” in my office at InterNACHI in Boulder, Colorado. These are 100 signed, blank checks. If I hear of a client of an InterNACHI member who has a complaint about Porch, I’m authorized to take down one of the checks, fill in the name, and send it to that consumer. Porch has agreed to replenish the checks as I use them to resolve any complaints about Porch. I will regularly report to InterNACHI members the status of the Wall of Checks.

I hope you haven’t had to write many checks.
